<p>I find myself in agreement with Fred W - I like to tend to things myself. One difference, tho, is that I plan to have some facia lights for turnouts, just as a fail-safe to remind me which way they are thrown.</p><p>My envisioned system (I have 99% of the trackwork done, DCC installed, and trains running) are functioning signals at track level, but also some kind of master panel overhead that will show block occupancy at a glance. I operate 2-3 trains alone and avoiding collisions and arranging meets and passes can get a bit confusing. I've had a few "cornfield meets" already and I think a master panel on one wall (I have a 12 x 12 N scale layout) might be helpful.<span class="smiley">[8D]</span></p><p>As others have said, figure out how you want to operate, then design the system to meet those needs.</p><p>Mike Tennent</p>
